DISTANCE TO EMPTY Gauge

DISTANCE TO EMPTY Gauge

•

The DISTANCE TO EMPTY Gauge estimates the remaining

distance that can be traveled before the traction battery needs to be

recharged.

– This estimate is calculated by the BCM.

•

The DISTANCE TO EMPTY Gauge is controlled by the IAA and

varies as driving conditions change.

•

Some conditions that affect the DISTANCE TO EMPTY

Gauge are:

– city/highway driving.

– hilly terrain.

– climate control usage.

– driving habits.

•

The BCM monitors power consumption and sends this information

to the IAA.

•

The IAA controls the DISTANCE TO EMPTY Gauge based on

this information.

Motor Enabled Gauge

Motor Enabled Gauge

•

The Motor Enabled Gauge indicates that the vehicle is ready to be

driven.

•

The needle will point to ON when the vehicle is enabled.

•

The needle will return to OFF if the key is turned to the OFF

position or the powertrain becomes disabled.

•

The IAA monitors the TIM and uses the Motor Enabled Gauge to

indicate the motor state (enabled or disabled).
